An enlarging white caruncular cyst in a 24-year-old woman proved to be a keratinous cyst lined by keratinizing squamous epithelium that lacked a keratohyalin granular layer (trichilemmal keratinization). The cyst most likely originated from a sebaceous gland duct. A panel of immunohistochemical stains was employed that compared and contrasted the cyst lining with the overlying caruncular conjunctival epithelium and further eliminated the likelihood of a conjunctival cyst. The most useful confirmatory stains were the positive trichilemmal marker calretinin, the positive sebaceous ductal marker cytokeratin 17 (suprabasal epithelium), and the negative conjunctival markers cytokeratins 7 and 19. Only one previous report of a very rare similar caruncular cyst is recorded in the literature without an extensive immunohistochemical analysis.
一名 24 岁女性的增大的白色肉阜状囊肿被证实为角化囊肿,由角化的鳞状上皮构成,缺乏角蛋白透明颗粒层(毛母质角化)。该囊肿很可能起源于皮脂腺导管。进行了一组免疫组织化学染色,将囊壁与上方的肉阜状结膜上皮进行比较和对比,并进一步排除了结膜囊肿的可能性。最有用的确认性染色是阳性的毛母质标志物钙视网膜蛋白、阳性的皮脂腺导管标志物细胞角蛋白 17(基层以上上皮)和阴性的结膜标志物细胞角蛋白 7 和 19。文献中仅记录了一例非常罕见的类似肉阜状囊肿的先前报道,但未进行广泛的免疫组织化学分析。
